The Faithful Donut
Far across the ocean,
Far across the sea,
A faithful jelly donut
Is waiting just for me.
Its sugar shines with longing,
Its jelly glows with tears;
My donut has been waiting there
For twenty seven years.
O faithful jelly donut,
I beg you; don't despair!
My teeth are in Toronto, but
My heart is with you there.
And I will cross the ocean,
And I will cross the sea,
And I will crush you to my lips;
And make you one with me.
